Chapter 128 Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!
The shaking mountains and the surging rivers made the already heavy rain in the Three Gorges even more depressing.
"what happened?"
Mance stumbled in the shaking hull and ran to ask the technician.
"There was a small earthquake under the water." The technician, who was watching the echo from the sonar, replied: "There's a crack down there."
"crack?"
Mans' heart seemed to be twisted fiercely, "Did you detect anything abnormal?"
"nothing now."
"I'll ask Ye Sheng to take a look and report to me immediately if he detects anything abnormal."
He was a little anxious. The main force of Kassel Academy was about to arrive. How could something go wrong at this critical moment?
"Good professor."
Mans immediately went to find Ye Sheng. With Ye Sheng's spiritual power, he could clearly detect the situation under the water without going into the water.
Ye Sheng, who did not go into the water, also alertly discovered that something was wrong. The shaking of the boat just now did not seem to be caused by normal wind and waves, but more like something had happened.
"What's it like underwater?"
Mans found Ye Sheng, who was held by Jiude Aki and saved from falling to the ground. His golden eyes flickered.
He was using the Vacuum Snake to go directly through the warship into the water to investigate the underwater situation, but his face did not look very good either.
"There's a crack in the ground that leads directly to the metal city. There are no living creatures in the city that the Vacuum Snake fears. I need to go down into the water right now to check the situation."
The current situation may be critical, but the situation underground is obviously even more critical!
"Okay! Get ready to enter the water. Put on your communicator. I'll go to the cockpit and keep an eye on the sonar."
Mance didn't waste any time and directly approved his action.
"Ah."
Ye Sheng quickly exited the Word Spirit state and went to put on diving suits with Shude Aki.
The sudden earthquake made everyone on the ship busy and prepared for what might happen next.
"What's the situation underwater?" Mans asked Ye Sheng on the channel.
"The water is very turbid and our vision is obstructed." Ye Sheng said, "Did the sonar find anything?"
"The sonar shows nothing unusual in the water." The technician had been staring at the screen, watching the sonar feedback.
"Do I need to enter the crack and check the condition of the metal city?" Ye Sheng asked.
Someone in the channel suddenly began breathing heavily. "Are you sure the sonar didn't pick up anything? But I saw it on the deck."
"What did you see?"
Mance looked up and looked outside through the glass window.
"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
Three consecutive dragon roars showed the crew member's panic.
Outside the boat, the sky was dark and the rain was pouring down like a waterfall. On the side of the boat, a more than ten-meter-long, conspicuous and agile dragon flew out of the water in the dark night. It spread its huge membrane wings, and its dragon head was wearing an iron mask, but its bright golden eyes, like flowing magma, stared at the boat.
Ye Sheng's Vacuum Snake awakened it, and then the ship stayed here, obviously coming for them, so it decisively took the initiative!
"Has the dragon come out of the water?"
Ye Sheng, who was still at the bottom of the water, subconsciously wanted to float to the surface.
"It has indeed surfaced. We are not sure if it is the King of Bronze and Fire." Mance immediately answered him and issued an order, "Don't come up so quickly. The Metal City is empty now. The principal and the others will be here soon!"
His words were not very clear in his haste, but Ye Sheng immediately understood what he meant.
Now, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki can safely enter the metal city to check the situation!
The principal and his men would be here soon, and as long as the people on the boat could hold on a little longer, the crisis on the water could be resolved.
"receive."
He immediately pulled the bewildered Aki Shude into the crack under the water.
When they went down to the bottom, they saw a huge bronze city, but the gate of this bronze city seemed to be closed, and there was no entrance within their sight.
"It seems we can't get in. We don't have the key." Shude Aki said in a low voice.
"I know, I've been prepared for a long time." Ye Sheng took out a test tube with bright red blood in it. Since discovering this metal city, he and Mans have been ready to enter the city.
The water was dozens of meters deep, and the underground depth was dozens of meters. They couldn't enter on their own initiative, but this city was not dead, there were living things in it! It was very likely to open the door at any time.
So before entering the water, they prepared what they needed to open the door.
The King of Bronze and Fire is the pinnacle of alchemy, able to easily kill metal and then give it soul, creating a living spirit.
The immortal living spirits are the best door locks, and the living spirits with souls have the function of automatic recognition.
However, apart from the arrival of the owner, there are other violent means to open the door directly, such as using dragon blood with higher authority to cover the authority originally left by Norton, or using the "Word Spirit Key" to open it.
"Key" is a very powerful word with a specific function, which can theoretically cause all doors to open.
There is no "key" at Kassel College, but the Chen family where Chen Motong comes from has one, and one of her younger brothers has it.
He opened the test tube, let a trickle of blood leak into the water, and pushed it onto the city wall. The wall immediately smelled the scent of blood and grew a bronze human face.
It opened its mouth greedily and absorbed the dragon blood that was scattered in the water, and then turned its attention to the test tube in Ye Sheng's hand.
Ye Sheng was very tactful and poured all the blood in the test tube into its mouth. After drinking it, it still looked at Ye Sheng unsatisfied, but Ye Sheng really didn't have a drop left.
After the bronze face remained silent for a long time, the bronze city shook, and a crackling sound came from inside, and then a passage opened in the wall.
Ye Sheng wanted to go in without hesitation, and Ya Ji wanted to follow him in, but Ye Sheng stopped her, "The roads inside Bronze City may be complicated, I need you to stay outside. If something unexpected happens and the traction rope and communication line are broken, I can also use the vacuum snake to simulate radio waves to your communicator to transmit messages to you."
Perhaps it would be safest for the two of them to go in together, but Ye Sheng was more afraid that if something unexpected happened inside, the two of them would be left here together.
The secrets of the dragon clan are very attractive, but they have no value if they cannot be passed on.
"Ah."
Aki nodded obediently and did not go in with him stubbornly.
The boats on the water were in chaos, even though they were all from Kassel Academy and were prepared to slay dragons.
But for many people, it was their first time facing a dragon. "Is it testing me?"
Mance looked at the information fed back by the sonar scanning screen. A giant creature the size of a sperm whale was swimming around the warship at a very fast speed, but had not yet launched an attack on them.
Perhaps this dragon from the old times did not anticipate the current development of human beings, so it is extremely afraid of the huge warships.
"It didn't attack us immediately." The captain said solemnly, "It felt like the tiger in the story of the donkey in Guizhou was observing the donkey."
"It won't observe for too long, and may attack us at any time. First drop bombs into the water, and then use all our means of attack!"
Mans took out the large-caliber sniper rifle prepared by the equipment department and walked out of the cockpit, shouting in the chaotic channel: "Guys! The dragon is right in front of us! No matter if it is the noble king of bronze and fire or not, we will kill it! Pull it off the altar! The principal and our people will be here in ten minutes or so. The honor of killing the dragon is right in front of us! Although this honor is not as easy to get as a dandelion blown off the mountaintop."
"Pick up your weapons and tell this overlord of the old times why we humans are on top of the world!"
The channel was quiet for a while, but soon became lively again.
The Three Gorges became lively because of the appearance of the dragon, but the capital city was not so lively. They had just arrived, only a few dozen people, and in the capital city with a population of tens of millions, they could not even make a wave.
Xia Mi asked: "How can I check? The source of this information is too vague. It only says that there is a king of the earth and the mountain in the capital, but there is nothing more specific."
"We can only investigate slowly. We can only find clues bit by bit. Let's split up and act separately." Zhang Baiqing, the person in charge, said: "There are 16 districts in Beijing. Let's divide into 16 groups and each search the corresponding district."
The rest of the people had no objection to this plan, because they really had no clue. They could only use the dumbest method, which was to disperse people and investigate bit by bit.
"Fingal, why are you here?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised to see Fengal. Shouldn't Fengal be going to the Three Gorges?
"I don't know. Maybe they thought I would be useless in the Three Gorges, so they threw me here." Finkel whispered, "I have a dream, which is to become a great dragon slayer. Unfortunately, the academy doesn't know my worth and can't see my glittering brilliance."
“Um…what’s your shining point…” Lu Mingfei asked uncertainly. He really couldn’t see what shining point he had. If being a good rumormonger could be counted, then he did have one.
Finkel shook his head in disappointment and said, "It seems that you can't see it either, junior brother."
"Fingal, Lu Mingfei, and my team are responsible for Haiding District, Chu Zihang's East City District, and Xia Mi's West City District." Zhang Baiqing's voice came.
The two immediately responded loudly: "Got it!"
After dividing the tasks according to regions and population, the personnel dispersed and began to pack their luggage and find hotels in corresponding places to facilitate travel.
"Hello, Senior Chu."
Lu Mingfei came over to say hello to Chu Zihang.
"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded indifferently. Even after turning into a dragon, his cold personality did not change at all.
"What's the situation over at the Three Gorges? Have the Kings of Bronze and Fire appeared?" Chu Zihang asked Zhang Baiqing. He estimated the time and the first wave of people should have arrived at the Three Gorges by now.
"Maybe it has appeared." Zhang Baiqing responded to him: "More than 20 minutes ago, a small earthquake suddenly occurred and cracked the riverbed. Then a dragon appeared. It was more than ten meters long. It was a real dragon, the kind with wisdom. But I'm not sure if it is the King of Bronze and Fire."
With his temporary permissions, he can quickly access this information through the Norma system, including the dragon that appeared more than ten minutes ago.
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei nudged Finkel with his shoulder and said, "Fingel, the chance to realize your dream has come. Hurry up and apply to the boss to go to the Three Gorges. Maybe he can send you there right away."
"Haha, it's too late now, isn't it?" Finkel laughed as soon as he heard it, "I guess the principal has already dropped from the sky and killed the dragon, so there's nothing I can do now."
Then he turned to Zhang Baiqing and asked, "Brother, what do you think about the hiding place of the King of the Earth and the Mountain?"
"What can I think? It must be on the ground or underground. It can't be in the sky, right?"
At Sanxia, the second officer in charge of bombs was horrified. "Is it so outrageous? All our bombs were destroyed by it."
He placed 10 bombs around the ship, and then he watched the bomb signals on the screen disappear one by one, just like a greedy snake, eating one at a time.
The helicopter that was originally hovering in the sky was taken a bite by it and then dragged into the water.
The bullets prepared by the equipment department had no killing effect on the dragon at all, and couldn't even knock off a few scales.
Mans stood in the wind and rain, looking into the distance, then glanced underwater with a nervous expression.
After Ye Sheng entered the Bronze City, his channel became quiet, as if he had disappeared, and no one knew what happened to him inside.
Ye Sheng was also very busy in the Bronze City. The walls of the city were covered with dragon characters engraved on them. He hastily took pictures of the dragon characters he saw with his camera and continued to walk to other places.
There are sophisticated gears in the Bronze City. He remembered that gears had existed in China during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Most of them were produced by the Mohist School among the Hundred Schools of Thought.
"what is this?"
He saw a big box and his eyes lit up.
There weren't many things he could move in the Bronze City, and most of them were carvings that seemed to have no meaning.
This box was quite rare, and there must be something inside, so he picked it up without hesitation, put it on his back, and tied it behind his back with a transmission line for communication.
The box was heavy, but after stimulating the dragon blood, he was still able to move it. He continued to walk around in the bronze city that was like a maze with the box on his back.
Until you go straight down the road and arrive at the spacious palace.
To humans it is a palace, but to dragons it should be their bedroom.
Ye Sheng saw a large brass jar in the bedroom, and he immediately went over and picked up the jar.
His intuition told him that anything that could be placed independently in the Bronze City must be a good thing.
The brass jars were a pair, but one side was broken, revealing a large gap, as if someone had chiseled it.
However, Ye Sheng did not have time to care about these things. The dragon belonging to Bronze City was on the water and it could turn back at any time. He needed to move the photos of the dragon pattern, the jar and the box out first, otherwise it would be useless if it died here.
His dragon blood was fully stimulated, his golden eyes were shining brightly, and he ran towards the door like a thief, fearing that the owner of the house would suddenly come back.
The moment the dragon opened its mouth, the second mate saw the bomb signal suddenly appear. An idea flashed through his mind, and then he decisively pressed the detonation button.
The bomb was only swallowed, not digested, and could still explode!
"Boom boom boom!"
A roar like firecrackers vibrated in the dragon's belly. There was no movement amid the heavy rain and thunder, but the dragon felt very uncomfortable.
But before it could finish feeling the discomfort, it smelled the scent of our king!
The king was brought out?
It sensed something was wrong. These humans were actually trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
